Starting around 3-4 or 4 patches ago, if you buffered Orianna's W while the ball was in motion from Q, the damage would hit noticeably before the Q actually arrived at it's destination. I'm pretty sure that this was not always the case, so I'm just wondering if this is a bug or intended?
Personally, I have never seen this happen. It might be due to the fact that I rarely play mid lane. This, most likely, is a bug. I cannot think of one case where Riot intentionally had the damage apply before the animation was finished. Riot is slow when responding to bugs, so that is most likely the problem here. I highly doubt that this is intentional.
